Read void setup() in the demo sketch. I think the splash screen is immediately put in the buffer after loading the display.</p>

I'm looking in to options for displaying spectrographs for a school project, so I'm looking to be able to show different shades of gray (err...blue?) at each pixel. If this board doesn't work, would anyone have recommendations? I don't need anything fancy (hence looking for black/white options).</p>

As Jimb0 stated, no text character support.</p>

If you want to send text, you'll need an Arduino or some form of microcontroller to parse that data and convert it to the more raw data the display expects.</p>

Does it have a text mode, so you can just throw text at it, or do you have to use something like an Arduino library for it to make text (I wouldn't be using Arduino in my application)?</p>

I've cracked the corner of a similar display with very little pressure; it's thin glass and not meant to be mashed on. Consider laying the glass down on a table and flipping the board over it, pushing against the board rather than the glass.</p>
